Restoring Prairie Wetlands is a guide to restoring wetlands in the southern portion of the prairie pothole region, which covers parts of Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Based on data collected from restorations throughout this region, it provides specific information on the plants, animals, soils, and hydrology of prairie potholes; the selection of suitable sites; and the design, evaluation, and management of wetlands. Many practical and easy-to-use tools are included, such as the nomogram for predicting a restored basin's hydrology, guides to identifying plants and animals, data sheets to assist all aspects of the restoration, and lists of the hardware suppliers, agencies providing planning assistance, and sources of plant materials. Restoring Prairie Wetlands is designed for farmers; personnel in government and private agencies that fund, plan, construct, and manage restorations; and public officials and other policymakers concerned with natural resource issues.

This 160 page book includes over 100 color photos. It describes the process and outcomes of the author's efforts to restore 250 acres of his land that rests along one mile of shoreline of a National Wild and Scenic River in northwest Wisconsin into an abundantly biodiverse mosaic of prairie (pine barrens), oak and pine savannas, wetlands (including interconnected spring-fed ponds with five small islands, two cold water streams, and a mature mixed hardwood forest, as well as the flood plains of the streams and rivers). With the help of staff from the National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Soil Conservation Service, WI Department of National Resources, and restoration ecologists from several universities, the author has been able to increase an endangered wood turtle population, translocate the rare Franklin ground squirrel, increase the number of native forb and grass species, as well as create excellent habitat that has invited wolf and merlin, and many other animal species, back into the area. The book is composed into four primary sections - Scenes offer descriptions and photographs of various habitats and wildlife; Songs express prosaic perspectives from at least one animal and plant species at each habitat; Stories relate the various projects the author has engaged, relevant traditional stories from the author's various ancestral tribal cultures that concern traditional relationships with native animals and plants; and closes with the Sacred, an exploration of the spiritual as voiced in Biblical scripture and on-the-ground real experience of such. Essentially, the author integrates objective science-verified approaches with the Native American (Iroquoian, Algonquian, Siouan) horticultural, foraging, hunting and fishing heritages of his ancestors to model a cohesive approach to sustainable, shared, subsistence patterns of living with the land, its waters and wildlife, that actually increases abundance and biodiversity rather than diminishes it. The narrative focuses upon a coherent and comprehensive approach to preservation, restoration, conservation and consecration of our relationship with the land, its waters and co-resident wildlife.

Creating and Restoring Wetlands: From Theory to Practice, Second Edition describes the challenges and opportunities relating to the restoration of freshwater and estuarine wetlands in natural, agricultural, and urban environments in the coming century. This second edition is structured by clearly defined chapters based on specific wetland types (e.g. Peatlands, Mangroves) and with a consistent and coherent organization for ease of discoverability. The table of contents is divided into four main subjects: Foundations, Restoration of Freshwater Wetlands, Restoration of Estuarine Wetlands, and From Theory to Practice, each with multiple chapters. Part 1, Foundations, contains chapters describing definitions of wetlands, ecological theory used to guide restoration, and considerations on where to implement restoration on the landscape. In Parts 2 and 3, restoration of specific freshwater (marshes, forests, peatlands) and estuarine (tidal marshes, mangroves) wetlands are described. Part 4, From Theory to Practice, contains chapters describing performance standards to gauge success of projects and case studies describing small-scale and large-scale restoration projects of various freshwater and estuarine wetlands. Each chapter contains clearly labeled sections which assist the reader to quickly and easily key in on the subject matter that they are seeking. The approach of Creating and Restoring Wetlands is unique in that, in each chapter, it links ecological theory important to ecosystem restoration with practical techniques to undertake and implement successful wetland restoration projects, including recommendations for performance standards to gauge success as well as realistic expectations and timescales for achieving success. Each chapter ends with a summary table describing keys to ensure success for a given wetland ecosystem. Each chapter ends with a summary table describing keys to ensure success for a given wetland ecosystem Written by a single author, providing a consistent structure that is coherent, cohesive and well referenced Contains case studies of small- and large-scale restoration activities ensuring relevance to individuals and organizations

Efforts to direct the recovery of damaged sites and landscape date back as far as the 1930s. If we fully understood the conditions and controlling variables at restoration sites, we would be better equipped to predict the outcomes of restoration efforts. If there were no constraints, we could merely plant the restoration site and walk away. However

While it is generally accepted that flood pulsing and disturbance dynamics are critical to wetland viability, there is as yet no consensus among those responsible for wetland restoration about how best to plan for those phenomena or even whether it is really necessary to do so at all. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Beth Middleton draws upon the latest research from around the world to build a strong case for making flood pulsing and disturbance dynamics integral to the wetland restoration planning process. While the initial chapters of the book are devoted to laying the conceptual foundations, most of the coverage is concerned with demonstrating the practical implications for wetland restoration and management of the latest ecological theory and research. It includes a fascinating case history section in which Dr. Middleton explores the restoration models used in five major North American, European, Australian, African, and Asian wetland projects, and analyzes their relative success from the perspective of flood pulsing and disturbance dynamics planning. Wetland Restoration also features a wealth of practical information useful to all those involved in wetland restoration and management, including: A compendium of water level tolerances, seed germination, seedling recruitment, adult survival rates, and other key traits of wetland plant species A bibliography of 1,200 articles and monographs covering all aspects of wetland restoration A comprehensive directory of wetland restoration ftp sites worldwide An extensive glossary of essential terms Wetland Restoration, Flood Pulsing, and Disturbance Dynamics is a valuable working resource for wetland restoration consultants, employees of government agencies, and professional land managers, as well as ecologists, foresters, and geologists involved with wetland restoration and management. It is also an excellent text for advanced courses in wetland restoration.

Forty-two chapters by international experts from a wide range ofdisciplines make The Wetlands Handbook the essential toolfor those seeking comprehensive understanding of the subject. Adeparture from more traditional treatises, this text examinesfreshwater wetland ecosystem science from the fundamentals toissues of management and policy. Introductory chapters address the scope and significance ofwetlands globally for communities, culture and biodiversity.Subsequent sections deal with processes underpinning wetlandfunctioning, how wetlands work, their uses and values for humansand nature, their sensitivity to external impacts, and how they maybe restored. The text is illustrated by numerous examples,emphasising functional and holistic approaches to wetlandmanagement, including case studies on the wise use andrehabilitation of wetlands in farmed, urban, industrial and otherdamaged environments, highlighting the long-term benefits ofmultiple use. The Wetlands Handbook will provide aninvaluable reference for researchers, managers, policy-makers andstudents of wetland sciences.
